  • Title: The nutritional needs of the older person.
    Author: Devlin M.
    Journal: Prof Nurse; 2000 Dec; 16(3):951-5. PubMed ID: 12029877.
    Abstract:
    Older people have particular nutritional requirements that are different from other groups. The nutritional status of many older people is poor in respect of some key nutrients. Older people are at higher risk of malnutrition if they are ill, live alone or have difficulty in eating. Older patients should have their nutritional status and nutritional intake monitored regularly to ensure they are receiving adequate nutrition.
